The incident happened during the match between Argentina and Nigeria which they won 2-1. Maradona, who threatened to steal the show with his antics in St Petersburg on Tuesday, was pictured being treated by paramedics after Argentina moved into the last 16 thanks to a dramatic 2-1 victory. Amid concerns over his health, the 1986 World Cup winner denied being taken to the hospital, and revealed he was told to leave at half-time. Maradona, 57, wrote on Facebook that he was fine after suffering from a sore neck. "I want to tell everyone that I am fine, that I am not, nor was I, hospitalised," he wrote. "At half-time of the game against Nigeria, my neck hurt a lot and I suffered a decompensation. "I was checked by a doctor and he recommended that I leave before the second half, but I wanted to stay because we were playing for everything. How could I leave? "I send a kiss to everyone. Thanks for the support." Maradona was seen dancing, celebrating and sleeping before offering middle-finger salutes to fans after Marcos Rojo's 86th-minute winner. Argentina will face France in Kazan in the last 16 on Saturday.
